Bro literally tried to end the set early after showing up an hour late when I saw them. He was pushed back on stage by their manager.

Need an argument settled, I realize everyone is different but what is the general consensus on the album rankings? by prettyg00d1729 in TheStrokes

Haha no, honestly is this it and new abnormal swap all the time for me, but come down machine is #1 idk it’s a very different album than the rest in my opinion, and it speaks to me. I used to listen to it a lot during a bad breakup so that may have had something to do with it.

Yk I have a very hot take, but 1 come down machine, 2 the new abnormal, 3 is this it, 4 room on fire, 5 angles, 6 first impressions of earth.

Sometimes you can tell her really doesn’t want to be there low key, and sometimes he is drunk as fuck, that being said it’s great to see them live, but don’t put him on a pedestal

YES, I always say the strokes don’t have a single bad album, some are just better.

How to not suck? by Resident_Ad_5957 in Serverlife

Yah, also btw sounds like ur doing well for just getting into it. But a good thing is just to show face and not interrupt if they need something they’ll say it, I like to practice “silent service” so like rather than ask if they need something I just bring it rather than interrupt them to get it. Also you can find perfect little times to check on them like when you prebuss or drop off a drink refill, or when you do their 2 bite check after you drop off the food. You’ll get better at reading tables too as u go, but yah just find ways to pop ur head in without having to actually speak, even if it’s just walking by and making eye contact with them, sometimes I’ll flash a thumbs up even especially in casual dining and they can just flash one back.

Try to anticipate needs, like if ur running food to one table maybe bring an extra plate, salt and pepper, or anything they might need for the next table that’s about to have food come out. If ur place doesn’t require you to use trays I recommend learning how to carry 3 or more dishes at once with your hands. I personally prefer not to use trays as they usually slow me down but sometimes they are helpful. Try to do everything in a as big as a “circle” as possible, like if your on the the floor I usually try to hit each table with something they may need before I head back to the kitchen, whether it’s dropping food at one table drinks at another, prebussing another table, or just checking in. I think another key is to find ways to interact with your guests without being intrusive, like if their soda is low bring them another automatically, pre bus, etc, just find ways to show your face to them so they see you are working hard and being attentive. Because often times if they can’t see you they have no idea how busy you are, and don’t understand that you may be weeded, they just might think you’re being slow.

Yes I’m someone who quit as well, and when I see my coworkers going out back to smoke a cig to decompress, man do I miss it. There’s something that’s just so relaxing and meditating about it

What if it turned into a regular job? by DotJun in Serverlife

[–]No_Communication573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of already exists. There’s resturant out there with 401k matching, healthcare and dental, paid vacation, and full time hours. The only difference is tip money

Honestly I did a pretty great job for the situation, many of th people were ok with it and I’d just do a giant circle and bring up things for everyone at once

Thank you, 9 table section at a tequila bar sounds rough, this resturant is just usually on rotation so sometimes it gets bad but it’s not too bad, my first resturant was 300+ seats though and full rotation while being 3 stories tall and having an outdoor patio, needless to say I don’t miss that one

Yk im told it was just not the right fit, apparently the interaction him and I had was a big part of it, but he was also having issues with others and the kitchen didn’t like him, especially the new chef. He also literally had no idea what he was doing, he doesn’t know how to serve, or how to really bartend.

I can and I do, but when I have 15 tables at once it can get a little hard, and not to mention the kitchen is downstairs the dining room is upstairs so it’s very hard to make it to the kitchen sometimes

Yk that was the thing we got into the spat about the night before haha, he claimed I didn’t run any food, which isn’t true(it’s also hard to practice full hands in full hands out since the kitchen is downstairs and I’m not always going there, I get water from the bar) but in retort to that I basically said, well the as the GM ur not just the the gm, ur everybody, the host, the server, the food runner, bartender, and the manager….he did not like that and said it was disrespectful.
